Small comment regarding the ARC-AGI-3 scorecard: the ARC folks published a blog post as well [1], reporting that without the custom harness, Astra (max) achieved 62.7%, which is still a huge jump from Opus 5, albeit not at the 99.9% that Op

As far as seeing and ignoring fixed objects, you can also remove any returns that have a near-zero velocity in radar and focus only on those objects that are moving. Of course, indoor settings have a lot of non-stationary objects as well th

Oh Jua, it's cool to see that name. They've been on my radar since I applied to (and was rejected by) them earlier this year. I'll be interested to see the research paper once it is published next week, especially since they

I was about to say "they still torture students this way" but stopped myself when I remembered I took Circuits 1 and 2 back in 2007. So maybe my knowledge is dated too... It's a weird butterfly effect moment in my career thou

Very cool project. There are some presentations by the PI on youtube that I recommend searching for. One of the interesting takeaways I had was that they were able to do better with mesoscale phenomena and extreme weather prediction than th

I love the creativity that goes into naming these projects in the geosciences! I've been a part of several of these projects myself, and have used data and collaborated with teams from many more. One point of clarification: GNSS is a t

That's great that you found a new spot. I've seen other research and discussion on this topic. Some stats that may be validating for you (and others) to hear: * There's a 0.08% job application -> offer rate when applying t

I once applied to a position like this. It was eerily similar to my background, and when I did a little digging I found that the group lead had even directly cited my research papers in his own research work. I applied on the site, reached

I don't even mind paying up front anymore. I'm in a position where I can afford it now, though for most of my adult life I've relied on sites like this to make ends meet. However the only thing I want from publishers is DRM-f

Yeah for sure. So say your category is "fruits and vegetables". You might say Avocado, Banana, Celery, etc. The goal is to challenge yourself, and it's more of a stretch than you'd think (but a good exercise). Or at leas

This happened to me following a concussion. I worked with a therapist who suggested a "game" that could help my word recall. Every night before sleeping, pick a category and try to name an example from the category for each letter

I wouldn't read too much into it. UK is one of my alma maters. Everyone in that area of the US means "University of Kentucky" when they say "UK". It isn't a dig at the United Kingdom nor is it (I assume) an att

This combines three of my greatest passions - basketball, computer vision, and analytics. I love it! Thanks for sharing :)

Wi-Fi or another radar-type device (like the one we developed) is the way to go. That got around people not wanting, or simply forgetting, to wear a device, but it did have its own technical challenges. A sensor fusion approach is a great o

I've thought about the cultural change aspect too and I agree with you. Younger generations are more used to wearing smart watches and carrying phones, so the appetite for wearable fall and activity detection devices will be much highe

So this is an area where I can speak from experience. I was previously employed as the ML research scientist for a startup that designed and implemented an mmwave radar-based solution for the use case of seniors in independent living situat

It is unsurprising that some customers are growing agitated with self checkouts. Others have mentioned issues with weights and "accusatory" automated voices, but recently I ran afoul of the computer vision technique used to detect
